The facility site plan shows the layout and improved features of the new Bow Lake Transfer and Recycling Station.


The Solid Waste Division has developed a site plan that shows the layout and improved features of the new Bow Lake Transfer and Recycling Station.

Planned improvements include:

  • An expanded recycling collection area where customers can bring materials for recycling and composting, including a separate yard waste area
  • A larger transfer building that will have easier-to-use waste unloading areas, which will reduce customer wait times
  • An enclosed transfer building that will protect customers and workers from weather conditions, as well as contain noise, dust and odors.
  • A new site layout that will improve on-site traffic flow and add more on-site vehicle queuing space
  • Two pre-load compactors to improve operational efficiency and decrease the number of transfer trailer truck trips required to and from the station
  • Sustainable building design features that will improve energy efficiency and result in lower life cycle costs than conventional building design
  • Environmental enhancements to the stormwater and wastewater systems
